In this work, a simple method to determine the amount of magnetic iron oxide nano- and microparticles attached to magnetically-modified partic- ulate diamagnetic materials has been developed using a commercially available magnetic permeability meter, The procedure is fast and enables dry particulate magnetically modified materials to be analysed without any modification or pretreatment. We show that the magnetic permeability can be measured for materials containing up to 20% magnetic iron oxide, The magnetic permeability measurements are highly reproducible.展开更多

Magnetic iron oxide particles were prepared from ferrous sulfate by microwave assisted synthesis. A suspension of the magnetic particles in water soluble organic solvent (methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropyl alcohol, or acetone) was mixed with the material to be modified and then completely dried at elevated temperature. The magnetically modified materials were found to be stable in water suspension at least for 2 months.展开更多

X-ray diffraction results show that this composite mainly consists of olivine Li Fe PO4 and monoclinic Li3 V2(PO4)3 phases with small amounts of V-doped LiFePO_4 and Fe-doped Li_3V_2(PO_4)_3. The magnetic properties of LiFePO_4·Li_3V_2(PO_4)_3/C are significantly different from LiFePO_4/C. Trace quantities of ferromagnetic impurities and Fe_2P are verified in LiFePO_4/C and LiFePO_4·Li_3V_2(PO_4)_3/C by magnetic tests, respectively. LiFePO_4·Li_3 V_2(PO_4)_3/C possesses relatively better rate capacities and cyclic stabilities, especially at high charge-discharge rates.The initial discharge capacities are 136.4 and 130.0 mA h g^(-1),and the capacity retentions are more than 98% after 100 cycles at 2C and 5C, respectively, remarkably better than those of LiFePO_4/C. The excellent electrochemical performances are ascribed to the mutual doping of V^(3+)and Fe^(2+), complementary advantages of LiFePO_4 and Li_3V_2(PO_4)_3 phases, the residual high-ordered carbon and Fe_2P with outstanding electric conductivity in the nanocomposite.展开更多
